A gigantic thieving conspiracy among the
freight employees of the Pan Handle, Pittsburg.
Fort Wayne & Chicago, the Cleveland &
Pittsburg, the Erie & Pittsourg and the
Pennsylvania railroads has been brought to
light, and as a result, nearly 100 men have
been arrested and placed in Pittsburg
jails. Five hundred warrants have been
issued. The stealngs extend over three years
and amount 10 at least $3.50 900. For three
years the Pan Handle road has been system
ntically robbed. Cars on sidlngs and cars on
moving trains have been broken open md
goods stolen, including every description of
merchandise Arrests have been made along
the lines Of tho roads, brakemen, conductors,
engineers and fircmen- being among the guilty
persons There were eighty freight crews on
the Pan Handle road each composed of q con-
ductor and three brakemen, and all but five
were banded together in systematic manner
for the purpose of robbng the cars in charge.
Detectives were first placed at work seven
months ago. some along the lines and other on
trains. Sometimes the thieves broke the
locks and at other times they smashed in the
end of cars, reporting them defective at the
end of the run When a green hand secured
employment on the road, he was Immediately
taught the art of stealing Many vera
intoxicated nearly all the time, rs they stole
whiskey and concealed it in their caboose.
The theits cover everything, from barrel of
whiskeY to Bible. They had the best
of cigars, some brakemen having as many
as four boxes on their mnntelpieces
at home. They would take pieces of cloth and
give them to their friends. They had several
suits Of clothing for their own use. "While
making the arrests" said Detective Rue, 1--WE
found number of persons in the act of burn
ing the very goods we were after" The most
important arrest made was that OF Brakeman
Young. He admitted that he had large lot Of
the stolen property at his house and told how
the goods had come into his possession. His
confession will, it is said, convict thir Teen

could reach the carriage. 1t has not yet
been ascertained positively whether or not
the persons arrested had any criminal inten-
ton. The Gear was in perfect health and
